Wildland Resources

Dr. Kari Veblen has been an assistant professor of rangeland ecology in the Department of Wildland Resources (Quinney College of Natural Resources) since 2011. She is a long-time resident of the western US, having grown up and attended college in Colorado and completing PhD and Postdoc work in California and Oregon.

Dr. Veblen’s research emphases include both restoration and livestock-wild ungulate effects on western US rangelands and African savannas. These research interests are rooted in a desire to work at the interface between basic and applied science in order to improve our understanding and management of rangeland landscapes.

In addition to incorporating undergraduate students into her research projects as technicians, she has been extremely fortunate to mentor several outstanding undergraduates in their independent research projects.
